Life in Opua NZ


had quite the birthday party for Kyle and Maya, games, cake, ice cream,presents and enough sugar to last a life time!! they had a great time.................
The 3 kid boats went for a tour in the van we rented to Whangerai to check it out. We have decided not to take our boat there, and will probably haul out up here in Opua ( Jan sometime) but the plans have been known to change!! It was a great drive down, very scenic, so much like BC!
did the clothing/shoe shopping.......... everyone needed shoes and clothes - found the best store for that finally at the end of the day!! "Farmers"! we love that store, only wish we found it earlier on in the day. We were trying to get to a glow worm cave and waterfall, but it ended up being to late in the day and we were so tired . hoping to do the glow worm cave 'Fri or Sat.
We sure are enjoying Opua and area...check out the pictures
These are around the Bay of Islands - so much like the Gulf Islands don't you think?!
